Important Questions
Answers
Why this Matters:
What is the overall
deductible?
In-Network
$1,500 Individual/ $3,000 Family
Out-Network
$3,000 Individual/$6,000 Family
Doesn’t apply to preventive care.
You must pay all the costs up to the deductible amount before this plan begins to pay for
the covered services you use. Check your plan document to see when the deductible starts
over (usually, but not always, January 1st). See the chart starting on page 2 for how much you
pay for covered services after you meet the deductible.
Are there other
deductibles for specific
services?
No.
You don’t have to meet deductibles for specific services but see the chart starting on page 2
for other costs for services this plan covers.
Is there an out–of–pocket
limit on my expenses?
Yes. In-network - $4,000
Individual/$8,000 Family
Out-of-network - $8,000
Individual/$16,000 Family
The out-of-pocket limit is the most you could pay during a coverage period (usually one
year) for your share of the cost of covered services. This limit helps you plan for health care
expenses.
What is not included in
the out–of–pocket limit?
Premiums, Balance-billed charges,
and health care this plan doesn’t
cover.
Even though you pay these expenses, they don’t count toward the out-of-pocket limit.
Is there an overall annual
limit on what the plan
pays?
Yes. $2 million.
The amount the Plan will pay for essential Benefits during the plan year.
Does this plan use a
network of providers?
If you use an in-network doctor or other health care provider, this plan will pay some or all
of the cost of covered services. Be aware, your in-network doctor or hospital may use an outYes. For a list of network providers

participating for providers in their network. See the chart starting on page 2 for how this
plan pays different kinds of providers.
Do I need a referral to see
a specialist?
No.
You can see the specialist you choose without permission from this plan.
Are there services this
plan doesn’t cover?

Summary of Benefits and Coverage: What this Plan Covers & What it Costs
Coverage for: Employee, Employee + Spouse, Employee+Child(ren), Family | Plan Type: HDHP
 Copayments are fixed dollar amounts (for example, $15) you pay for covered health care, usually when you receive the service.
 Coinsurance is your share of the costs of a covered service, calculated as a percent of the allowed amount for the service. For example, if the plan’s


allowed amount for an overnight hospital stay is $1,000, your coinsurance payment of 20% would be $200. This may change if you haven’t met
your deductible.
The amount the plan pays for covered services is based on the allowed amount. If an out-of-network provider charges more than the allowed
amount, you may have to pay the difference. For example, if an out-of-network hospital charges $1,500 for an overnight stay and the allowed
amount is $1,000, you may have to pay the $500 difference. (This is called balance billing.)
This plan may encourage you to use in-network providers by charging you lower deductibles, copayments and coinsurance amounts.

own costs will be different depending on the
care you receive, the prices your providers
charge, and the reimbursement your health
plan allows.
Yes. When you look at the Summary of
Benefits and Coverage for other plans, you’ll
find the same Coverage Examples. When
you compare plans, check the “Patient Pays”
box in each example. The smaller that
number, the more coverage the plan
provides.
Are there other costs I should consider
when comparing plans?
Yes. An important cost is the premium you
pay. Generally, the lower your premium,
the more you’ll pay in out-of-pocket costs,
such as copayments, deductibles, and
coinsurance. You should also consider
contributions to accounts such as health
savings accounts (HSAs), flexible spending
arrangements (FSAs) or health
reimbursement accounts (HRAs) that help
you pay out-of-pocket expenses.

plans?
